Could be knockoffs. Which are what they are. I bought a pair off ebay and they were. Also have a legit pair that are cert and calibrated.
Battery already in it?
0.0005" digit small?
Battery lr44 or something other than sr44?
QC signatures on paperwork printed and not signed?

Still testing both side by side. So can't weigh in just yet.

Fake. If you look at the signature and rest of it, it's all photocopied/printed not actually signed with a pen. Looks like we have same knockoff. Pic for reference. Real one on right and fake on left.

I seem to get very close to same measurements so far. When battery gets low on the fake it starts reading funny.

Didn't really get screwed just isn't the real thing you thought you were buying. You paid 60 for a 60 dollar or less caliper.

A couple of budget measuring devices for handloading, I do not think them to be quite as accurate as the Mitutoyo calipers but they can work well enough for case length measurements. 

The Big Mike marketed by Pacific (now Hornady) some years ago was a bust.

Its cool to see all the different style measuring devices out there. Being in the tool and die trade I see a lot, but there's more I haven't seen either..
